Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)
Democratic and personalized production of multimedia content is one of the most exciting challenges that content providers will have to face in the near future. In this proposal, we plan to address this challenge by proposing a framework to automate the collection and distribution of digital content. As a federating objective, APIDIS targets cost-effective autonomous production, so as to make the creation of audiovisual reports profitable, even in case of small- or medium-size audience. First, APIDIS will investigate the automatic extraction of intelligent content from networks of multi-modal sensors. Intelligence refers here to the identification of salient segments within the audiovisual content, using distributed scene analysis algorithms. Second, our project will exploit that knowledge to automate the production of video content for controlled scenarios, e.g. most notably sports events or surveillance. Finally, the APIDIS consortium will consider personalized and potentially interactive content summarization mechanisms, to address heterogeneous user needs and access conditions. The potential applications of the integrated technology and methodologies that will be developed within APIDIS are numerous, ranging from personalized access to digital media related to local sport events through a web portal or a mobile hand-set; cost-effective and fully automated production of content dedicated to small-audience, e.g. souvenirs DVD, university lectures, etc; but also automated summarization for video surveillance.
